Abyss Sequence-Chapter 488 - 63: Ascension

Roger ignored the words that came after Yan Luo's statement.

'Save'?

Why would he need saving?

As powerful as he was, why would he need to be saved by a weakling!

The massive mecha swung its fist towards Yan Luo, and Yan Luo swung his fist too, ready to confront the mecha head-on.

A mecha at least fifty meters tall clashing against a tiny human—anyone would instinctively think the mecha should win this battle, right?

Common sense would say so.

But Yan Luo was no ordinary person!

Yan Luo's minuscule fist shattered the mecha's fist on impact; the intricate machinery exploded instantly, sending shards everywhere.

Forward!

Forward!

Forward!

Yan Luo kept attacking along the mecha's arm, dismantling the gigantic machine piece by piece, relentlessly destroying the steel giant surrounding the cockpit.

The massive jaws of the cockpit shattered, exposing a small robot with short limbs. Yan Luo didn't hesitate at all, launching his attack swiftly.

What he didn't expect was for the cockpit to explode suddenly, with Roger emerging from it, battling Yan Luo with only his body.

The abilities of the three major close combat sequences reappeared in Roger; he marshaled all the power he could, engaging Yan Luo in a tempest of assaults.

No way! Still not enough!

Previously, Roger could shatter Yan Luo's arm with a full-on punch, but now, with Yan Luo's enhanced strength, doing so was impossible.

Even with the enhancement of the three major sequences, Roger's power only matched Yan Luo's now.

How could such feeble strength possibly defeat Yan Luo?

If he couldn't even defeat Yan Luo, how could he hope to kill the Evil God and save the world?

If the abilities of the three major close combat sequences were insufficient, how about adding a few more sequence abilities?

The sequences of [Vajra], [Warrior], and [Fighter] had similar soul waveforms, so Roger could easily access the abilities of three sequences, albeit at a slight cost of reducing his upper capability limit.

To gain other sequence abilities on top of the three major combat sequences, one would have to twist one's soul waveform, drastically lowering the original ability's upper limit.

Such a trade-off for varied abilities meant other sequence abilities could compensate for the lowered upper limit of the three major combat sequences.

This was Roger's true ace, though it had some side effects, requiring a period of rest afterward to restore his soul to normal.

But to kill Yan Luo, Roger deemed it worthwhile!

Roger forcefully twisted his soul, cramming the abilities of four sequences into his body.

They were [Shadow Dancer], [Elemental Master], [Mage], and [Mechanic].

Roger's muscles began to roll beneath his skin, his whole form turning bizarre and hideous.

The soul stems from the body, so to alter the soul's waveform naturally means to manipulate the body.

At this moment, Roger looked like a monster, bloated all over as if every cell in his body had turned malignant.

Yan Luo frowned at Roger's appearance, not understanding what he intended to do.

However, when one is sick, take their life; Yan Luo acted immediately, turning into a meteor and charging at Roger.

The feeling... never had been so good!

Savoring the abundant power within him, Roger couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Roger transformed his body into a metal form through [Elementalization], generating various mechanisms and circuits in his body, turning himself into a robot.

Using the ability of [Mechanic] to enhance himself, he then utilized the internal players to chant curses for multiple spell casting.

Roger leaped into the shadows, emerging from behind Yan Luo, delivering a kick to Yan Luo's back.

Yan Luo reacted instantly, deploying magnetic field power to block Roger's kick.

At that moment, Roger's hands transformed into laser guns, with his ten fingers becoming the barrels.

Ten beams shot out from Roger's fingertips, striking Yan Luo's body.

Most of the laser's energy was blocked by the magnetic field power Yan Luo deployed, but some thermal energy still managed to cause Yan Luo harm.

Yan Luo quickly turned, swinging his arm to unleash crescent-like magnetic field power.

The chant from the first player ceased, and a force field shield appeared before Roger, reducing the incoming magnetic field power.

The shield existed only for an instant before shattering, yet it managed to mitigate much of the magnetic field power; when Yan Luo's slash hit Roger, it was like a gentle breeze, causing no harm to Roger.

The chant from the second player also ended, and Roger plummeted down, delivering a thunderous punch.

He cast [Brute Force] on himself, a spell that could temporarily elevate a person's strength to the upper limit of their physical tolerance, and now Roger, being a machine, could endure much more than when he was flesh.

Alarms blared in Yan Luo's heart, but Roger was too close; after Roger activated the [Shadow Dancer] ability, evading was impossible for Yan Luo.

Since he couldn't dodge, he'd have to endure it!

Right hand clenched, Yan Luo punched back at Roger.

At the moment their fists collided, Yan Luo's face changed dramatically.

Roger's punch carried a massive force, enough to potentially destroy Celestial City with a single blow.

Though Yan Luo's power had been enhanced, he was still no match for Roger, unable to withstand such a strike.

As soon as they touched, Yan Luo's right arm's skin burst open, spraying a massive amount of blood.

Skin was a minor issue; more critical were the tearing injuries to the muscles and joints, with bones splintering at every inch.

Yan Luo used the force to fly backward, intending to distance himself from Roger.

But would Roger let him go?

Roger already knew Yan Luo's remarkable recovery ability; if he let Yan Luo go, it would essentially give him time and opportunity to heal himself.

Roger used [Shadow Leap] again, appearing behind Yan Luo and delivering a fierce punch to the back of his head.

Yan Luo quickly turned, raising his arm to block.

This time was no different from before; his arm bones shattered again, and the muscles turned into pulp, barely held together by skin, or they would have spilled out.

Just then, Roger's third spell was ready.

——[Electromagnetic Field]!

A massive electromagnetic field originating from Roger's body expanded rapidly, encompassing Yan Luo.

Roger had understood by now; although Yan Luo used magnetic field powers, the actual power he could harness came from within himself, making it difficult to utilize external magnetic field forces.

Otherwise, in their battle in outer space, Yan Luo could have already harnessed the power of the solar winds.

But Yan Luo hadn't done so—despite them both harboring murderous intent toward each other—which meant?

It meant that Yan Luo could not manipulate external magnetic fields!

Under Roger's will, the electromagnetic field disrupted Yan Luo, interfering with the operation of his internal magnetic field power.

With both arm bones shattered and magnetic field power operation disturbed, Yan Luo was now in a dire situation.

At this moment, Roger's fourth spell was complete.

A beam shot from Roger, landing on Yan Luo and causing his body to stiffen, unable to move.

——[Bind Spell]!

The conditions for victory were gathered, and Roger moved at once.

He was a Saint, and Yan Luo was also a Saint.

Roger knew well the nature of a 'Saint,' their intense will even capable of bending and controlling reality. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Therefore, Roger would afford Yan Luo no chance to escape death!

He planned to unleash his full potential, to obliterate Yan Luo's head with one punch, ensuring the complete demise of this talented yet obstructive young man on his path to fulfill his plans.

[Farewell, Yan Luo, my successor, the other Saint of Blue Star.]

A short sentence condensed into a brief electromagnetic wave injected into Yan Luo's mind.

Yan Luo gritted his teeth, frantically driving the magnetic field power within him.

He was indeed in a desperate situation, but until the final moment, he wouldn't give up.

"Magnetic field power—"

Roger's metal fist suddenly appeared, and scenes from Yan Luo's past life flashed before his eyes.

He saw Wang Lingyu and Guo Xu, he saw Sasa, he saw Wu Zechuan and Chen Shan, he saw the elderly Qiu Zhixue who died in bed, he saw Li Xinyue and the embryo quietly floating in the artificial womb.

At that instant, Yan Luo's heart seemed to beat in rhythm with the embryo's pulse, the scene before his eyes boiling up.

"Turn for me!!!"

The invisible shackles shattered, Yan Luo's arms instantly regenerated, and his right fist swung fiercely, colliding with Roger's, disregarding everything, and striking Roger's face.

At the same time, Roger's fist struck Yan Luo right in the face.
